Dubai billionaire behind Donald Trump's $20 billion US data centre plan meets Elon Musk and 'family' at White House, shares photo from the 'memorable morning'

Elon Musk and his partner, Shivon Zilis, have been photographed alongside Dubai-based billionaire Hussain Sajwani, during a recent breakfast meeting at the White House. The image, shared by Sajwani on social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and LinkedIn, shows the founder and chairman of Damac Group and provides a rare glimpse into the personal dynamics of Musk's professional circle.
Sajwani's social media post, accompanying the photograph, conveyed his positive experience.
“Had a great breakfast at the White House with Elon Musk and family — a memorable morning,” he said in a post. The photograph shows Elon Musk holding a plate of food, while Shivon Zilis stands beside him, smiling for the camera.


Dubai-based billionaire Hussain Sajwani, the chairman of DAMAC Properties, has emerged as a significant figure in recent headlines following his announced $20 billion investment in the US data centers, a move heralded by President Donald Trump. This substantial financial commitment not only underscores the growing importance of data infrastructure for technologies like AI but also further cements Sajwani's long-standing ties with the prominent American businessman.
During a press conference held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the 71-year-old Sajwani, whose estimated net worth stands at a substantial $10.2 billion as of recent reports, detailed his plans to develop data centers across key states including Arizona, Texas, and Michigan.
Trump lauded the investment, stating, “This investment will support massive new data centers and keep America on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and technology.”
Sajwani himself hinted at the potential for his contribution to exceed $20 billion, contingent on favourable market conditions, and described Trump’s election as “amazing news for me and my family.”
Trump introduced Sajwani as “one of the most respected business leaders in the Middle East, indeed the world,” highlighting their relationship. Their association dates back to DAMAC Properties' development of the Trump-branded golf course in Dubai.
